It's just now sinking in for me that under the watch of our first female vice president we have lost much of our reproductive rights and are waiting to lose more. She isn't doing anything, she isn't standing up for us. I'm not suprised considering her appaling past behavior but I am livid all over again.

My first stake was a hit! Unfortunately all of the guests couldn't make it but it was still enjoyed. The patatos where made with French onion dip as well as cream cheese which was a tip I got from the comment section. The cheddar on top was my idea.

I hate when I finally get a few moments to myself and hard labor is beating down my door. So much to do. So little time. And all I want is to read on the porch.

Recently I have been very bothered by fat phobia snuck into unrelated self help books. Ambushing readers who are just a little thick/curvy as over eaters just as bad or worse then alcoholics/drug users. As i usually do with the books I just tried take sections that are inappropriate/harmful with a grain of salt but when the authors kept harping on it I decided to pick up some crime/murder mistory novels that I kinda use like trash TV and there again was met with fat phobia and what seemed to me to be glorifications of restriction/ over exercise. I just can't win. It's like every time I escape a fat shammer and start to re embrace myself some one else pops up to tell me what an ugly disgusting fat fuck I am. Like bro I'm just trying to read/listen to books and get through another day in this already hostile environment.

As afab I was/am scrutinized constantly to an invasive and creepy degree about my physical dementions. From relatives, family friends, the church and aggressive random strangers.

As a queer person I am uncomfortable in queer spaces and have often been shunned for not fitting the physical standards for my identity.

In my professional life I have be harrased, mocked, and subject to all sorts of doubt. Even after proving myself by obtaining results and even over achieving physically.

This is just the way I am. I'm not over eating, or lazy and definitely not a lier. What the hell am I supose to do.

Happy Father's day to me! I'm am proud today to wish my self a happy father's day. While all the want to be father figures in my life have come and gone like I'm some sort of toy left on the community playground I have continue to show up for myself. Learning, protecting and standing up for myself more and more each year.

Honorable mention to my would be father-in-law who is here to give me carrer advice and watch unbearably stupid movies.

Home made Alfredo sauce was one of the first things I learned how to make. Over the years I've tried a few versions but the key to perfection is the flower and heavy cream base I got from a news paper clipping 20ish years ago.
